Cheesy Pizza Burger Pie

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough

• 15–20 pepperoni slices (optional)

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tbsp melted butter

• Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.

2. Cook the Beef
   In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until browned.
   Drain excess grease.
   Stir in pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   Simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Pie

   • Unroll the crescent dough and press into the bottom and sides of the pie dish, forming a crust.

   • Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the crust.

   • Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.

   • Add pepperoni slices if desired.

4. Top It Off
   Brush the crust edges with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan for a golden, cheesy finish.

5. Bake
   Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

6. Serve
   Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
   Garnish with basil or parsley for a fresh pop of color.
